Solar and Battery Systems

Solar and battery systems bring two technologies together: solar panels that generate electricity during the day, and solar batteries that store what you don’t use straight away. That stored energy then powers your home at night or during cloudy weather. This means less reliance on the electricity grid and more control over where your energy comes from.

How Do You Work Out a Solar and Battery System?

The starting point is almost always the solar panels. Installers look at how much electricity your household uses during the day then size the solar system accordingly. Once that’s in place, a battery is added to capture the excess energy that would otherwise be sent back to the grid.

There isn’t a single “best” size – it depends on how much energy you use and when you use it. Here are some of the most popular solutions right now:

Sonnen 10kWh Battery + Solar

A 10kWh Sonnen battery is ideal for a small to medium-sized household. Paired with a solar system to provide enough power to run lights, appliances, and entertainment devices well into the evening.

Sonnen batteries are German-made, known for durability and smart energy management. For many families, this combination makes electricity bills drop sharply, while still giving the comfort of backup power if the grid goes down.

Tesla Powerwall 3 – 13.5kWh + Solar

The Tesla Powerwall 3 offers 13.5kWh of storage and is one of the most popular batteries on the market. It works well with larger solar arrays.

This system is suited to homes with higher usage: think multiple air conditioners, pool pumps, or electric vehicles. Tesla stands out for its sleek design and user-friendly app that lets you track and manage energy in real time.

Custom Solar and Battery Setup

Not every home fits neatly into a package which is where custom systems come in. A small home with modest usage might only need a smaller solar system with no battery at first, while a growing family with an EV charger and big energy demand might benefit from a large solar setup and bigger battery straight away.

At SolarBright, we regularly design systems tailored to things like roof size, lifestyle, and budget.

SolarBright’s Solar and Battery Packages

We’ve worked with thousands of Australian households and know that every family has different goals. Some want maximum savings, others want backup in case of outages and many are simply looking to future-proof against rising power costs.

How Much Can You Save?

To give you an idea:

• A 6.6kW solar system with a 10kWh battery can cut bills by around $1,000–$2,000 per year.
• A 10kW solar system with a Tesla Powerwall 3 can reduce bills by $2,000–$3,000 per year, depending on usage.

Over the life of the system, those numbers add up especially as electricity prices continue to climb.

Designed for You

Every household uses power differently, so there’s no “one-size-fits-all” approach. Some families want to keep the air conditioning running on hot summer evenings, others need to power a home office and charge devices late into the night, and some simply want the peace of mind that the fridge and lights will keep going during a blackout. That’s why we size every system to match your daily routine, making sure the balance between panels and battery storage is right for your lifestyle.

Packages to Suit Every Budget

Price is often the deciding factor. That’s why we offer different tiers of solar and battery packages – from entry-level to premium. Finance options are also available so families can start saving on power immediately without waiting years to recover the upfront investment.

Rebates and Discounts

There are generous incentives available that help reduce the upfront cost of solar and battery systems. For solar panels, the Small-Scale Technology Certificates (STCs) lower the purchase price. On top of that, the new Federal Battery Rebate can cut thousands off the cost of adding battery storage to your home. Combined with SolarBright’s partnership discounts from leading brands like Tesla and Sonnen, these rebates make it easier and more affordable to make the switch.

Choosing the Best Solar and Battery System

The market is crowded with different panels, inverters, and batteries. So how do you pick the right system? A few points make a big difference:

• The installer matters. A well-installed system will perform better and last longer. Cutting corners on installation often costs more in the long run.
• Reputation counts. A solar and battery system is meant to last 10–20 years. Choosing a company with proven experience means you’ll have support for the life of your system, not just during the sale.

Why SolarBright?

SolarBright is an award-winning installer with more than a decade of experience. We’ve helped thousands of households reduce their bills with solar and battery systems and only work with brands we trust.
